Season 1, Episode 4

Catherine McNiel is asking this question of herself and others: “What are you afraid of?” Why, she asks, are we, as Christ-followers, often taught to fear our neighbors, withhold hospitality from strangers, and vilify the “others”–those whose beliefs, appearances, and lives look different than our own and perceive them as a threat to our way of living. Catherine speaks to this culture of fear and calls us to change the conversation. Her new book, Fearing Bravely: Risking Love for our Neighbors, Strangers, and Enemies, is an anthem proclaiming the freedom to choose love over fear.
